I was under the impression that Morales was just not very good based on how easily Pac ran through him.
Apparently Morales is a lot better than I or even he gave himself credit for. There is no reason he shouldve retired at age 29. He is one of the smartest technical boxers Ive ever seen, and couldve dominated any division that Pacquiao was not apart of.
Pacquiao makes extraordinary fighters like Morales look normal.
MOrales was a great win for Pac and losing to Morales once is no big deal in the grand scheme of things as well. There are legends comparable to Pac that lost to worse fighters than Morales. SRR lost to Randolph and Duran lost Kirkland.
So should people not give credit for anyone who beats SRR, on the basis he lost to Randolph once upon a time? Who cares that Morales lost to Raheem?

You mean Randolph Turpin? The HOF'er?
Duran was closer to his prime when he lost to Laing than Morales was when he fought Pacqiauo. And Duran wasn't in his prime.
Morales was shot when he fought Pacqiauo, atleast the 3rd time. The 2nd fight he was past his best but a solid win none the less. Solid, nothing more nothing less.
And Morales is clearly still shot. He's just that good that even though he's shot he can still arugbally beat Maidanna level fighters.
yea pac is so great that he refused to give jmm a fight after he whooped him twice and we've seen what floyd did to jmm, i know *******s will say that floyds came in heavier that night but i guess its ok for pac to fight weight drained top rank bumms who cant pull the trigger anymore ,have fun him fighting mosley (floyds 3rd left over) the guy they didnt want to fight a few years ago.
What a total FAIL on your part buddy!
1) You said, "yea pac is so great that he refused to give jmm a fight after he whooped him twice"
- You realize that they did fight twice???? So what's your magical number?
- You do realize that they discussed fighting for a third time but the stars didn't align???
- You do realize that it was Marquez that refused on several occassions due to negotiations .... I'm not here to blame Marquez as he probably thought it was the right thing to do for him but that is what happened....
- You do realize that the 2 fights is what boxing needs more of and that they were close great fights? Nobody would agree with you that either one"whooped the other one twice", as you put it.
2) You said, "we've seen what floyd did to jmm, i know *******s will say that floyds came in heavier that night"
- So you are saying that, as you call them, "*******s" are wrong on this? Please!!!
3)You said, "pac to fight weight drained top rank bumms who cant pull the trigger anymore"
- So who was weight drained? Clottey (147)? Cotto(145 but previous fight came in at 146)? Margarito(150)? Before you respond with your lameness, please provide a link that stated that these guys were weight drained and that they couldn't pull the trigger.
4) You said, "have fun him fighting mosley (floyds 3rd left over) the guy they didnt want to fight a few years ago."
- Depending on how you look at things, Manny fought Oscar and Cotto as his first 2 WW fights. Cotto fight was only 1.5 years ago. That was not a bad 1-2 to start off his WW fights.
- Floyd had been there for a lot longer at WW. Yet, you OK with him fighting Mosley at ~39 and not sooner?
- "Leftovers" - That is the dumbest word that I have ever heard when used in the context of boxing. Especially when Mosley was ~39, inactive for 16 months and had 2 consecutive training camps before the Floyd fight. Mosley was already "cooked", "ripe", "Leftovers" before entering that fight with Floyd and Floyd knew it!But I guess that he is your hero so you are OK with that. Right?
- While we are at it, your Floyd could have fought some of those guys but took the easy way out and went on vacation or fought no-name Baldomir instead! But I guess you are OK with that.
Finally, just like you did what you did with Manny "ONLY" fighting Marquez twice, if Manny WHO LOST to Morales would not have fought him again and Morales would have continued his career and looked respectable, you would have crucified Manny for not avenging his loss with a 2nd fight and you would have done the same if they would not have made it a trilogy JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH MARQUEZ!!!
Oh and you only WISHED that your hero Floyd would actually fight guys like Morales, Barrera, Marquez, Cotto ..... AND have some of those be great fights to boot!

Right, Maidana is just not that good man. A good technical boxer that keeps the fight in the middle of the ring will beat him.
you just disturbed the ***** beehive with this thread...they hate anything that gives props to pac.
And *******s never learn. I'd rather see Pacquiao and his wins being denigrated these days. I'm a Pac fan and what the hell. Let 'em. Lol. Easy work, easy money.... but he needs to undergo strict testing never been demanded of a boxer. A boxer who fought inferior opponents. Lol. Let 'em.
